| Soil & Site | average |
| Temperature | Acclimated plants are very tolerant of cool or cold temperatures in the spring. In zone #5, they do best in the early spring to early summer, May to June, tend to slow down in the hot, drier months, and then come on strong in the cool fall (mid-September-October). With some protection, I had Petunias bloom on Turkey Day. Hardened petunias can be planted in early May in zone #5. |
| Flowers | 1 to 1.5 inches, forms a funnel-shaped corolla tube that flares into a broad lip sits in a calyx of five sepals, and comes in many different colors |
| Leaves | alternate and covered with a viscid pubescence, making them sticky when pinched |
| Dimensions | 12-24 plus inch spread, 8-10 inches height, spreading growth habit |
| Maintenance | Container plants may need to be pruned to keep the plants compact. Deadheading will promote longer bloom time in both bedded and container-grown plants. Plants in the garden may need cutting back in the hotter times of the year. |
| Propagation | seeds, cuttings |
